196/-- Testable predictions from RS UV cutoff:
197
198 1. **No trans-Planckian modes**: Physics is regular at Planck scale
199 2. **Modified dispersion relations**: E² = p² + m² gets corrections at high p
200 3. **Cosmic ray spectrum**: GZK cutoff might be modified
201 4. **Black hole formation**: Minimum mass related to τ₀
202 5. **Loop corrections**: Finite and calculable with RS cutoff -/
